installation on phone with postmarketOS
-
Hi
I cannot find any manual how to install on phone without android. Is it possible?
I installed postmarketOS on xiaomi poco X3 and then realized that camera does not work on system without libhybris so want to switch to ubuntu touch. -
Here's the installation guide for Poco X 3 (scroll down to the bottom of the page): https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/surya/
As explained, you first must re-install Android 10 Stock ROM build n° MIUI Build V12.0.9.0.QJGMIXM. Everything is well explained.
If not, you might brick your device, or encounter bugs and issues.

Thx for answer.
I found https://xiaomirom.com/en/download/poco-x3-nfc-surya-stable-V12.0.9.0.QJGMIXM/
here are 2 files with different Flash Method, Recovery or Fastboot. I couldnt find a way to boot postmarketOS to fastboot mode (probably it is not possible) so I try to find how to install andorid in recovery mode.
Btw: When I escaped from android jail I thought changing from one distro to another will be easy as on normal desktop/laptop. -
@rmrmg you need to use the fastboot version. Power off the device and use the key combination for the device to get to the bootloader. Unzip the Android ROM and open a terminal in the unzipped folder. Then run the flash_all.bat file (Windows). Do not relock the bootloader, set up Android again then you are ready to install UT.

Thx for answer. As I wrote in previous post I am not able to boot into fastboot mode. Neither keys combination which was working on Android nor 'reboot bootloader' work.

I cannot edit so update in new post: I am able to boot into fastboot mode using standard key combination and trying install ubuntu touch.
